1o Also to mount the reel casing so that it can be moved to a position above the seat for use.

A further object is to provide shade supporting means on the reel casing for supporting a shade housing the casing and a connection be- .5 uween the reel standard and the reel casing whereby the axis of the reel casing can be moved from the axis of the standard to a position above the seat to one side of the standard.

A further object is to form the standard and 2o seat from tubing material.

A further object is to provide the upper end of the standard, which is in axial relation to the reel casing, with an upwardly offset horizontal arm extending across the axis of the standard and the reel casing and on which .the reel casing is slidably mounted, thereby allowing the reel casing and the shade carried thereby to be radially moved in a horizontal plane to a. position to one side of the standard and above the seat.

A further object is to form'the seat and the standard from a single piece of tubing bent to form and as a unit thereby accurately placing the seat in relation to the head of a person in the seat and the reel casing when moved outwardly to a position above the seat.

A further object is to provide the upper end of the standard with an upwardly inclined arm slidably connected to the under side of the reel casing above the seat when the reel casing is in axial position in relation to the standard, said slidable connection forming means whereby the reel casing can be laterally moved and supported in a position above the seat and with the standard to one side of the reel casing.

A further object is to provide the under side of the reel casing with a guide extending diametrically across the same, and in which guide is slidably mounted the upper end of an angular portion of the standard within the shade, said angular portion, when the reel casing is extended assuming a position adjacent one side of the shade.

A further object is to provide an arcuate shaped horizontally disposed curtain rod supported by v section.

the reel casing and movable therewith. and adapted to assume a position in advanceof the seat.

A further object is to'provide the ends of the arcuate curtain rod 'with upwardly and inwardly extending arms supported by the upper side of XJ the reel casing, and under which arms an operator may easily walk around the chair when the reel casing is in forward position above the chair.

With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings, described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the'precise'embodilnentl of the invention may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention y In the drawings;

Figure 1 is a side elevation'of the seat, showingV the reel support carried thereby and the shade and curtain `rod in vertical longitudinal cross Figure 2 ris a bottom plan view of the reel casi ing, showing the guide carriedthereby.

Figure 3 is an end view of the guide and the upper end of the standard. -v f Figure 4 is a top plan View ofthe device.v

Figure 5 is'a vertical transverse sectional view relation to the reelcasing 5, as clearly shown' in 9 Figure l, however to use the reel casing and reels carried thereby and curlers it is necessary to move the casing 5 from its full line position shown in Figure l to its dotted line position shown in said gure above the seatl, and at which time the curlers 6 can be pulled downwardly from the reel casing and attached to the hair in the usual manner. It is to be understood however that the reel casing and curlers may be of any structure i and applicant does not limit himself in this particular.

Supported on the upper side of the reel casing 5 by means of a channelled ring 8 is a downwardly flared shade 9 of the lamp type, and which shade is suiliciently large to conceal the curlers 6 from oFFIcE f' viewand to give the general appearance of a reading lamp adjacent the seat 1, thereby allowing the normally unsightly hair curling machine to present a more artistic appearance.

The upper end of the standard 4 which is axially disposed in relation to the reel casing 5 terminates in an upwardly and forwardly inclined arm 10 having a horizontal portion 11 in the diametrically extending guide 12 carried by the under side of the `reel casing 5 as clearly shown in Figure 2. It will be noted that the operator can shift the reel and its shade from its axial position in, relation to the standard 4 to the dotted line position above the seat 1 as shown in Figure 1, and after which movement the various curlers 6 may be lowered in the usual manner for attachment to the hair. Whenthe shade 9 and the reel is moved to a position above the chair, the arm 10 will assume a position adjacent the rear side of the shade 9, therebystill maintaining thegeneral appearance of a lamp,

It is often desirable to place a curtain around the-occupant of the seat and to accomplish this result the horizontally disposed arcuate curtain rod 18 is provided forwardly of the reel casing 5 and of the lamp shade 9. It will be noted that the. ends of the Vcurtain .rod 13 terminate in upf wardly extending arms 14 which extend to a position above the reel casing 5, and are supported by the reel casing 5 through the medium .of the transversely disposed arms 15, under which it will be noted that an operator may Walk behind thecurtain 16 supported on the rod 13.

When the rod and the reel on which it is mounted is inforward position, it will be seen that the rod is forwardly of the seat l, hence theoperator may walk around the seat behind the curtain 6 while working on the customer.

From the above it will be seen that a combined seat and 'curling machine is provided which will f jacent the seat, and that the reel casing and the curlers carriedthereby will oe-concealed from view when the reel casingjisin operative or inoperative position.

.The invention havingbeenset forth what is `claimed as new and usefulis: -.1

`The combination witha hair waving ina'- 1 chine said machine comprising an upwardly extending standard, a reel casing carried by the upper end of said standard, a seat to .one side ofsaid standard, said reel casing being normally when in inoperative position in axial position on the standard .and means connecting said standard sind reel'casing whereby said reel casing may be moved from its axial position in relation to the ystandard to a position above the seat.

2. The combination with a hair waving machine comprising an upwardly extending standard, aseat to one side of said standard and in .fixed relation thereto, a Waver reel casing con- `side thereof and means connecting said reel casing and machine' whereby said waverfreel casing may be moved laterally to a position above the seat.

4. A hair waving machine comprising a seat, an upwardly extending reel casing standard to the rear of the seat, a reel-casing connected to the upper end of vsaid standard in axial relation thereto and means whereby said reel casing can be moved laterally from its axial position in relation to the standard to a position to one side of the standard above the seat.

5. A device as set. forth in claim 4 including a shade'housing the reel casing vand movable therewith. i
